Historical Information

Mark Street was laid out in the 1850s and named after Lord Mark (Kerr) McDonnell, the 10th Earl of Antrim. This house (No.9) does not appear to be shown on the OS map of 1858, but is undoubtedly the dwelling shown under construction on this site on the valuation map of 1859.
